Worried any risk ? please asess

At the  clinic, the women who was doing the tests on me, had out her sergical gloes on , but then had left the room to get some plasters,she opened the door via the handle, patients do touch the door handles she touched when they leave, also once she was out of the room i am unsure what she touched then, supose a small bit of the patients blood/ or semenial fluid (this is possible as you do have to press cotton wool once blood test is taken and put back foreskin for the eye of the penis to be tested drung test for ghonaria)  got on the handle or else where where the clinic lady touched with the gloves, she then touched the end of the swab stick that is used during a urethra swab for gohnaria where the stick is put in the eye of the penis. i am worried as she had touched the end that went in my penis.. could if there was blood/semienial fluid on door handles or cubaord doors or outside/inside of a testube.. anywhere she may have topuched when leaving the room.. when she made contach with the swba stick which then made contact with the end of my penis and inside could HIV be contracted this way


ANY help would be much aprreciated  and a explanation wouldnt go unapreciated
thank you

You were never at risk of HIV from what you have posted. end of story.

HIV is an increadibly fragile virus that, when exposed to environmental condtions outside of it's host os almost instantly rendered inert and unable to infect.

I respect the fact that you seem to be suffering anxiety over the possibility of becoming infected, but it is anxeity and nothing else. I would implere you to seek therapy from a mental health professional if you cannot let go of this unwarranted fear of HIV infection.
